The arrival of big name players in the Saudi Pro League is starting to take its toll on the country’s national team. Al-Owais wouldn’t have conceded thrice if he didn’t lose his Al-Hilal spot to Bounou, but even Al-Owais is pretty old anyways.
Al Owais wasn’t even starting for Al Hilal before Bounou. Al Mayouf was the starter.
- we’ve been awful since the Argentina match, we’ve only won one match (against Yemen) and lost 9 and drew once.
The tears are flowing in Newcastle tonight
Cant believe this! Those new players in the Saudi league told me its super high quality and not much difference from Europe! :O
